SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires holidays, python-dateutil, icalendar, docx, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Calculate accurate litigation deadlines and calendar events so practitioners can avoid missed filing dates, account for service method adjustments, and reconcile federal and state counting rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • FRCP-aware counting: Implements FRCP Rule 6(a)(1) calendar-day counting with final-day adjustment for weekends and holidays.
  • Jurisdiction & service adjustments: Supports federal and state (CA, NY, TX, FL, IL) overrides, holiday calendars, business-day calculations, and service-method day additions.
  • Outputs & reports: Produces structured JSON, an iCalendar (.ics) with alarms, and a human-readable deadline report; supports custom deadlines for case-specific tasks.
  • Use Case: Given a complaint service date and service method, the skill generates answer, motion, discovery, and appeal schedule entries, exports an .ics for calendar import, and includes rule citations for verification.

Quick Start

Provide a trigger date, jurisdiction, event type, and service method and ask it to calculate the filing and response deadlines.
